En février 2009, l'aéroport de Francfort a connu une baisse du trafic passagers de 9,8 % par rapport à l'année précédente, compte tenu du glissement annuel, et a accueilli 9,2 % de passagers en moins en mars 2009. Au total, 4,03 millions de passagers ont fréquenté l'aéroport de Francfort ce mois-ci. Les mouvements aériens ont diminué de 3,2 %, ce qui représente 38 913 décollages et atterrissages. En février 2009, le nombre de mouvements avaient baissé de 6,1 %, même après ajustement du glissement annuel. Avec 152 784 tonnes métriques de fret (fret aérien et courrier postal) en mars 2009, l'aéroport accuse, en mars 2009, une diminution de son volume de fret de 21,2 % en glissement annuel, un chiffre qui avait déjà chuté de 25,4 % en février.
